    "Your Majesty, I think this exercise can be over! 'Han Gaozu, the ship and

    "The battleship "Emperor Hanwen" has been sunk, and the heavy cruiser "Ussuri River" has also been severely damaged. There is only one heavy cruiser, two light cruisers and four destroyers left in the battleship formation.  There is no need to continue fighting!  "Navy Minister Zhang Cheng suggested.

    There is no doubt that the aircraft carrier Kunlun has won this exercise, and won with an absolute advantage!

    "Well! Give the order to end the exercise!" Wang Yuze nodded.  Although, at the current time, it is too late for the aircraft carrier 'Kunlun' to launch the third wave of attacks.  However, as long as it waits until dawn tomorrow, the aircraft carrier Kunlun can once again send out aircraft to search for traces of the battleship formation. After finding it, it only needs to launch another wave of attacks to thoroughly understand all the battleship formations.

    The order to end the exercise was quickly issued. The exercise originally planned for three days ended in one day.  When the aircraft carrier Kunlun received the verdict that they had won the exercise, the entire aircraft carrier burst into loud cheers.  Their efforts over the past six months have finally been recognized.  Originally, the aircraft carrier was despised by many other naval soldiers before it was recognized.  But now, they have used their abilities to prove themselves to everyone!

    After the exercise, the aircraft carrier Kunlun continued to stay in the Whale Sea for training, and further improved the problems exposed during this exercise.  The battleship formation returned to its home port.  During this exercise, they suffered a huge blow.

    Subsequently, Emperor Wang Yuze asked the Ministry of National Defense to issue an order for promotion.  Commodore Chen Yuankun, the captain of the aircraft carrier Kunlun, was promoted to rear admiral and concurrently served as commander of the naval aviation force.  Colonel Liu Yuanhang, commander of the aircraft carrier Kunlun, was promoted to brigadier general and served as director of naval aviation training.  You know, Colonel Liu Yuanhang is only 29 years old this year. For a general who is less than 30 years old, it has been very difficult in these relatively peaceful years!

    ¡®Bai Qi, the battlecruiser also returned from the Whale Sea.  This exercise shocked the military giants, especially the top brass of the navy.  Now, they no longer doubt that aircraft carriers will usher in a new round of changes in the navy.  Although these traditional naval generals feel uncomfortable about replacing their beloved battleships with aircraft carriers.  However, the Imperial Navy once again took the lead in the world, which made them very excited.  There is no doubt that while countries around the world are vigorously developing battleships, the Chinese Navy has already begun to develop aircraft carriers.  When the overwhelming carrier-based aircraft rush towards the enemy's battleship, the whole world will probably be shocked!  At that time, the Imperial Navy will be able to win the war at the smallest cost.  This is something that naval generals like them are very happy to see!

    "Your Majesty, now that the aircraft carrier has proven its combat effectiveness, I suggest that the future development direction of the navy should shift its focus to aircraft carriers. Simply stop building Tang-class battleships and invest all resources into aircraft carriers. As for new  There is no need to research and develop first-class battleships!" said Xiong Wu, Chief of General Staff.  The current cost of aircraft carriers, even with carrier-based aircraft, is not as expensive as battleships.  But its combat power is far stronger than that of a battleship.  Therefore, he believes that stopping the construction of battleships and fully developing aircraft carriers will undoubtedly improve the strength of the navy on a larger scale!

    The Minister of the Navy opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say much.  ¡®The Tang-class battleship is the decisive combat power that everyone in the navy is looking forward to. If it is cut off, it will probably make everyone in the navy very disappointed.  However, he had to admit that the suggestion of Chief of General Staff Xiong Wu was also very reasonable.  With the military expenditure to build Tang class battleships, several more can be built

    ¡®The aircraft carrier Kunlun is here!

    "Aircraft carriers need vigorous development, but the construction of battleships cannot be stopped. Now our navy has become the focus of all navies. If we stop the construction of battleships, it will make other countries suspicious. This is not in line with our  interests. Therefore, our battleships will continue to be built. The four Tang-class battleships of the Navy will strive to be put into service in the next three years. At the same time, a new class of battleships will also begin to be designed, but the number built will not be large.  Probably only one or two. In this case, we can allow countries around the world to continue to invest their limited resources into the bottomless pit of battleships. Just like we originally built battlecruisers. We actually only built a first-class battlecruiser.  But the United Kingdom, the United States and Germany have already built two or three levels of battlecruisers. Now we continue to build battleships for the same reason. At the appropriate time, we need to add fuel to the fire so that everyone can continue to strengthen the construction of battleships.  For example, after the Tang class battleship is launched, we can leak some information appropriately to make other countries feel threatened. In this way, they can?We will definitely increase investment in the navy!  As for aircraft carriers, we will speed up development.  The warship design institute needs to come up with a design plan for a new aircraft carrier.  ¡®Kunlun, the aircraft carrier is too small and carries too few fighters.  The new aircraft carrier must be able to carry at least 90 fighters.  In this case, an aircraft carrier fleet composed of two aircraft carriers is enough to launch a large-scale attack on the enemy.  In the next four years, I hope the Navy can build six large aircraft carriers and form three aircraft carrier fleets!  ¡®The role of the Kunlun aircraft carrier is to train enough carrier-based aircraft pilots and commanders for the naval aviation force, and to continue to explore an effective set of tactics!  "Wang Yuze ordered!

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Cheng nodded.  He also knows that in the future, aircraft carriers will become the key direction of naval development.  His main work will also revolve around the construction of naval aviation!

    "In addition, confidentiality work must be done well. At least before the war begins, the enemy cannot discover the development direction of our navy!" Wang Yuze emphasized again.

    "Yes, Your Majesty! From now on, aircraft carrier training will be carried out in the Whale Sea. There are relatively few passing merchant ships. By sending some warships to defend during the training, we can ensure that the news will not be leaked!" Zhang Cheng said.

    "Your Majesty, what about the distribution of the future aircraft carrier fleet? Like the battleships, the three major fleets will all establish their own aircraft carrier fleets. I think that since the aircraft carrier has become the navy's future trump card, there is no need to expose it prematurely. Therefore, the aircraft carrier fleet  It is best to equip it with the local fleet and go to the battlefield during wartime!" Admiral Li Dingxin, commander of the local fleet, said!

    "Commander Li, how can this be? The local fleet can't live alone, right?" Admiral Li Haitao, commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet, immediately shouted.  Everyone already knows the strength of the aircraft carrier, and the local fleet still wants to be alone. How is this possible?

    "Yes! Commander Li. The Han class, the home fleet has been divided into four battleships, and our other two fleets only have one each. The aircraft carrier must be assigned to us first no matter what!" Pacific Fleet Commander Gao Yihaizhong  Shoya spoke.

    The aircraft carrier, which was originally looked down upon by everyone, suddenly became the object of competition for everyone.  As commanders of major fleets, they must of course find ways to enhance the strength of their respective fleets.  Everyone knows that the war is getting closer and closer. Only by enhancing the strength of their respective fleets can they achieve more achievements in future wars!

    "Okay, everyone, stop grabbing it! It will take three or four years for the aircraft carrier fleet to be completed. After it is completed, it will also take half a year to a year to form combat effectiveness! Therefore, don't expect the aircraft carrier fleet in a short time.  Which fleet will you join?

    Maybe, when the war breaks out, the aircraft carrier fleet will not be able to enter the war.  Therefore, we cannot give up battleship training.  As for the ownership of the aircraft carrier fleet, it is temporarily under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of Navy, and will be equipped for use by major fleets in wartime!  "Wang Yuze said.

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" After Wang Yuze spoke, everyone had no choice but to stop fighting.  On the other hand, the commander of the Pacific Fleet, Gao Yihai, was full of joy.  Everyone knows that after the war begins, the United States will become the first target of the empire's attack.  And the strength of the U.S. Navy is also growing explosively.  Once the aircraft carrier fleet is built, the first one will definitely be put into combat in the Pacific!

    Having established the development direction of the navy, Wang Yuze felt a lot less worried.  The Army is replacing and building armored forces, and the Navy is also beginning to design new aircraft carriers and focus on building naval aviation.  After the new Prime Minister Wu Tingfang came to power, preparations for war have been accelerated.  The whole world is getting closer and closer to the war!

    On August 9, four huge battleships were docked at the Beihai Port in southern China.  The people on the battleship were not Chinese soldiers, but Caucasians.  These four battleships are four Santiago class battleships built for the Chilean Navy. Outside the port, there are two Chengdu class heavy cruisers, five Tianshui class light cruisers and 10 Dujiangyan class.  Destroyers are waiting.  These warships are all second-hand goods sold to the Chilean Navy.  Four Santiago-class battleships have completed sea trials and were delivered to the Chilean Navy last month.  After a month of training, the Chilean Navy is already familiar with the Santiago-class battleships.  Today is the day they set off to return home!

    Chinese Navy Minister Zhang Cheng personally came to the North Sea to see off the Chilean Navy, which flattered Chilean Navy Minister Calvin who came to receive the warship.  As the Chilean fleet returns home, the situation in South America will surely change further, and the outbreak of war in South America is inevitable!
